An innovative approach could turn nanoparticles into simple storage devices for hydrogen. The concept uses nanoparticles made of the precious metal palladium.

Researchers have created an extraordinarily light version, or isotope, of magnesium.

Researchers have used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that's 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Scientists develop concept for feedback-controlled optical tweezers.These tweezers made of highly focused laser light can grab cell clusters in a controlled manner and rotate them in any direction. This will allow objects such as miniature tumors to be studied more specifically under the microscope.

Researchers have successfully applied machine learning to guide the synthesis of new nanomaterials, eliminating barriers associated with materials discovery. The highly trained algorithm combed through a defined dataset to accurately predict new structures that could fuel processes in clean energy, chemical and automotive industries.
